Description
Published in an edition of 800 copies by the South London Gallery, this catalogue was produced on the occasion of Rashid Johnson's exhibition, Shelter, 28 September 2012 - 25 November 2012.For his first solo exhibition in London, New York-based artist Rashid Johnsonpresents an entirely new body of work in the South London Gallery's main space. Inspired by the idea of an imagined society in which psychotherapy is a freely available drop-in service, Johnson's installation of large-scale paintings, hanging plants, Persian rugs and four wooden day beds questions established definitions of the art object and its limitations, as well as therelationship between individual and shared cultural experience. The book features an essay by Tom Morton.
